3. Work on Organic Farms

If you like to work outdoors, connect with organic farms around the world through WWOOF.

Their membership roster includes hundreds of farms looking for volunteers. A quick search through sample listings for Ecuador, for example, turns up dozens of options.

These volunteer positions pay in meals and a place to stay.

“In most countries the exchange is based on 4-6 hours’ help — fair exchange for a full day’s food and accommodation,” the WWOOF FAQ page says.

Having all your meals and lodging covered also allows you to travel with very little income. Combine this with one of these other money-making strategies here and save up for the next leg of your journey.

4. Teach English

Teaching English overseas is a tried-and-true way to see the world while making money.

Most positions require a certificate (ESL, TEFL, TESOL etc.), and a bachelor’s degree. Some certification courses (like this one) cost less than $300. But if you have a specific job in mind, check to see what kind of certificate is expected.

7. Be a Guide

Of course, you need to know an area well to be a good guide, so this only works after you’ve been settled in a new locale for a while.

Another alternative is leading tours through an operating company.

For example, Tariq El Kashef has been leading adventure tours for four years, and has been to fifteen countries so far. He says many tour operators have applications on their websites, and you’re trained in destination countries once you’re hired.

8. Work at Hostels

Hostels around the world provide cheap alternatives to hotels, but they also can be a source of employment.

The pay is most often in the form of a free room in exchange for a few hours of daily work, but some may offer more.

Search Hostels.com to see what’s available where you’ll be traveling. Call to see if any are in need of help, and what they can pay.

10. Become a Street Performer

Spend some time in a busking forum to learn about opportunities and the ins and outs of local laws around the world.

11. Take Jobs as You Go

If you stay in your country of citizenship while traveling, you don’t need to worry about work visas.

Just look for jobs as you go, and stay for a few weeks or months when you find one.

This is more of a nomadic lifestyle than a trip, but you can choose where you go and take jobs only in areas you want to further explore.
